Gould A #5 (API 42-383-32853) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged July 14, 1999, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 12, 1983, permitted to 7,750 ft.

It was permitted by Saxon Oil Company and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including T/U.Spraberry, T/L.Spraberry, T/Jo Mill, T/Dean.

Its lease has reported 117K barrels of oil and 624K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2025. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
